Welcome to our coverage of match 1 of the 5 match ODI series between Sri Lanka and India. The
action now shifts from the red ball to the white ball, from white clothing to the coloured ones.
India take on Sri Lanka in the ODI series after losing the Test series 2-1. Firslty it will be a
huge setback for the visitors as they will be in the field without ther batting Maestro Sachin
Tendulkar who was forced to pull back because of his elbow injury which he suffered in the final
test match. But Indian fans will have something to cheer about as their ODI skipper MS Dhoni is
back in the team after missing the Test series. The Sri Lankan camp will be high on confidence with the sorcerous Mendis stinging shrewdly. With the veteran Jayasuriya back in the side Mahela Jayawardena will pounce on the visitors aiming for a series win. But Jayawardena will have only one thing to worry about Yuvraj's form. Yuvraj scored an aggressive 172 off just 121 balls which included 8 boundaries and 13 sixes against the Sri Lankan XI in a tour match. Harbhajan Singh's comeback in the ODI side after serving a ban will bolster the Indian skipper who will have to marshall his resources well against the inform Lankan tigers. With Dhoni and Yuvraj back in the Indian side Sri Lanka will be expecting a backlash. Lots of action guaranteed in this series. A part of it coming up. Lets join the commentary as the stage is set for the action. ,
First Innings
Batting : India
Bowling :
Sri Lanka
Sri Lankan bowlers preyed on the Indian batsman as the they were vulnerable to the Lankan spin attack. None of the Indian batters looked comfortable against spin. It will be tough time for the Indians to defend this small target. Will India pull a rabbit out of the hat or will Sri Lanka make a mockery of the Indian bowlers. We will be back after the innings break with the commentary of the Lankan run chase.

India won the toss and elected to bat.
The pitch looks hard and flat but there could be some help for the spinners later in the match. There is also a covering of grass on the wicket but it wont matter much. The average score at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium is 224 which signifies that it could be a low scoring encounter. But the curators still have a strong belief that it will be a run feast.
Welcome to our coverage of match 1 of the 5 match ODI series between Sri Lanka and India. The
action now shifts from the red ball to the white ball, from white clothing to the coloured ones.
India take on Sri Lanka in the ODI series after losing the Test series 2-1. Firslty it will be a
huge setback for the visitors as they will be in the field without ther batting Maestro Sachin
Tendulkar who was forced to pull back because of his elbow injury which he suffered in the final
test match. But Indian fans will have something to cheer about as their ODI skipper MS Dhoni is
back in the team after missing the Test series. The Sri Lankan camp will be high on confidence with the sorcerous Mendis stinging shrewdly. With the veteran Jayasuriya back in the side Mahela Jayawardena will pounce on the visitors aiming for a series win. But Jayawardena will have only one thing to worry about Yuvraj's form. Yuvraj scored an aggressive 172 off just 121 balls which included 8 boundaries and 13 sixes against the Sri Lankan XI in a tour match. Harbhajan Singh's comeback in the ODI side after serving a ban will bolster the Indian skipper who will have to marshall his resources well against the inform Lankan tigers. With Dhoni and Yuvraj back in the Indian side Sri Lanka will be expecting a backlash. Lots of action guaranteed in this series. A part of it coming up. Lets join the commentary as the stage is set for the action. ,
